1 Low Noise, Precision Operational Amplifier OP7 FEATURES Low noise: 8 nv p-p (. Hz to Hz), nv/ Hz Low drift:. µv/ C High speed:.8 V/µs slew rate, 8 MHz gain bandwidth Low VOS: µv CMRR: db at VCM of ± V High open-loop gain:.8 million Available in die form GENERAL DESCRIPTION The OP7 precision operational amplifier combines the low offset and drift of the OP7 with both high speed and low noise. Offsets down to µv and maximum drift of. µv/ C make the OP7 ideal for precision instrumentation applications. Low noise, en =. nv/ Hz, at Hz, a low /f noise corner frequency of.7 Hz, and high gain (.8 million), allow accurate high-gain amplification of low-level signals. A gain bandwidth product of 8 MHz and a.8 V/µs slew rate provide excellent dynamic accuracy in high speed, data-acquisition systems. A low input bias current of ± na is achieved by use of a bias current cancellation circuit. Over the military temperature range, this circuit typically holds IB and IOS to ± na and na, respectively. The output stage has good load driving capability. A guaranteed swing of ± V into Ω and low output distortion make the OP7 an excellent choice for professional audio applications.

14 OP7 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION OP7 series units can be inserted directly into OP7 sockets with or without removal of external compensation or nulling components. OP7 offset voltage can be nulled to (or another desired setting) using a potentiometer (see Figure ). The OP7 provides stable operation with load capacitances of up to pf and ± V swings; larger capacitances should be decoupled with a Ω resistor inside the feedback loop. The OP7 is unity-gain stable. Thermoelectric voltages generated by dissimilar metals at the input terminal contacts can degrade the drift performance. Best operation is obtained when both input contacts are maintained at the same temperature OP7 V k R P 7 V+ OUTPUT Figure. Offset Nulling Circuit OFFSET VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT The input offset voltage of the OP7 is trimmed at wafer level. However, if further adjustment of VOS is necessary, a kω trim potentiometer can be used. TCVOS is not degraded (see Figure ). Other potentiometer values from kω to MΩ can be used with a slight degradation (. µv/ C to. µv/ C) of TCVOS. Trimming to a value other than zero creates a drift of approximately (VOS/) µv/ C. For example, the change in TCVOS is. µv/ C if VOS is adjusted to µv. The offset voltage adjustment range with a kω potentiometer is ± mv. If smaller adjustment range is required, the nulling sensitivity can be reduced by using a smaller potentiometer in conjunction with fixed resistors. For example, Figure shows a network that has a ±8 µv adjustment range..7k k POT.7k 8 V+ Figure. Offset Voltage Adjustment 7-7- NOISE MEASUREMENTS Data Sheet To measure the 8 nv p-p noise specification of the OP7 in the. Hz to Hz range, the following precautions must be observed: The device must be warmed up for at least five minutes. As shown in the warm-up drift curve, the offset voltage typically changes µv due to increasing chip temperature after power-up. In the -second measurement interval, these temperature-induced effects can exceed tens-ofnanovolts. For similar reasons, the device has to be well-shielded from air currents. Shielding minimizes thermocouple effects. Sudden motion in the vicinity of the device can also feedthrough to increase the observed noise. The test time to measure. Hz to Hz noise should not exceed seconds. As shown in the noise-tester frequency response curve, the. Hz corner is defined by only one zero. The test time of seconds acts as an additional zero to eliminate noise contributions from the frequency band below. Hz. A noise voltage density test is recommended when measuring noise on a large number of units. A Hz noise voltage density measurement correlates well with a. Hz to Hz p-p noise reading, since both results are determined by the white noise and the location of the /f corner frequency. UNITY-GAIN BUFFER APPLICATIONS When Rf Ω and the input is driven with a fast, large signal pulse (> V), the output waveform looks as shown in the pulsed operation diagram (see Figure 7). During the fast feedthrough-like portion of the output, the input protection diodes effectively short the output to the input, and a current, limited only by the output short-circuit protection, is drawn by the signal generator. With Rf Ω, the output is capable of handling the current requirements (IL ma at V); the amplifier stays in its active mode and a smooth transition occurs. When Rf > kω, a pole is created with Rf and the amplifier s input capacitance (8 pf) that creates additional phase shift and reduces phase margin. A small capacitor ( pf to pf) in parallel with Rf eliminates this problem. R f + OP7 Figure 7. Pulsed Operation.8V/s 7-7 Rev. H Page of

15 COMMENTS ON NOISE The OP7 is a very low noise, monolithic op amp. The outstanding input voltage noise characteristics of the OP7 are achieved mainly by operating the input stage at a high quiescent current. The input bias and offset currents, which would normally increase, are held to reasonable values by the input bias current cancellation circuit. The OP7A/OP7E has IB and IOS of only ± na and na at C respectively. This is particularly important when the input has a high source resistance. In addition, many audio amplifier designers prefer to use direct coupling. The high IB, VOS, and TCVOS of previous designs have made direct coupling difficult, if not impossible, to use. Voltage noise is inversely proportional to the square root of bias current, but current noise is proportional to the square root of bias current. The noise advantage of the OP7 disappears when high source resistors are used. Figure 8, Figure 9, Figure compare the observed total noise of the OP7 with the noise performance of other devices in different circuit applications. ( Voltage Noise) Total Noise ( Current Noise RS ) ( Resistor Noise) Figure 8 shows noise vs. source resistance at Hz. The same plot applies to wideband noise. To use this plot, multiply the vertical scale by the square root of the bandwidth.

Noise vs. Source Resistance (Including Resistor Noise) at Hz At RS < kω, the low voltage noise of the OP7 is maintained. With RS < kω, total noise increases but is dominated by the resistor noise rather than current or voltage noise. lt is only beyond RS of kω that current noise starts to dominate. The argument can be made that current noise is not important for applications with low-to-moderate source resistances. The crossover between the OP7 and OP7 noise occurs in the kω to kω region. 7-8 OP7 Figure 9 shows the. Hz to Hz p-p noise. Here the picture is less favorable; resistor noise is negligible and current noise becomes important because it is inversely proportional to the square root of frequency. The crossover with the OP7 occurs in the kω to kω range depending on whether balanced or unbalanced source resistors are used (at kω the IB and IOS error also can be the VOS spec). p-p NOISE (nv) k OP8/8 OP7 OP7/7 R S UNMATCHED e.g. R S = R S = k, R S = R S MATCHED e.g. R S = k, R S = R S = k REGISTER RS NOISE ONLY k k k k R S SOURCE RESISTANCE () Figure 9.

The popular method to accomplish RIAA phono equalization is to employ frequency dependent feedback around a high quality gain block. Properly chosen, an RC network can provide the three necessary time constants of 8 µs, 8 µs, and 7 µs. For initial equalization accuracy and stability, precision metal film resistors and film capacitors of polystyrene or polypropylene are recommended because they have low voltage coefficients, dissipation factors, and dielectric absorption. (High-k ceramic capacitors should be avoided here, though low-k ceramics, such as NPO types that have excellent dissipation factors and somewhat lower dielectric absorption, can be considered for small values.) MOVING MAGNET CARTRIDGE INPUT R A C A pf A OP7 LF ROLLOFF C OUT.7µF R R R R C.µF C.µF Figure. Phono Preamplifier Circuit IN OUTPUT G = khz GAIN R =. ( + ) R = (9.9dB) AS SHOWN The OP7 brings a. nv/ Hz voltage noise and. pa/ Hz current noise to this circuit. To minimize noise from other sources, R is set to a value of Ω, generating a voltage noise of. nv/ Hz. The noise increases the. nv/ Hz of the amplifier by only.7 db. With a kω source, the circuit noise measures db below a mv reference level, unweighted, in a khz noise bandwidth. Gain (G) of the circuit at khz can be calculated by the expression: R G. R For the values shown, the gain is just under (or db). Lower gains can be accommodated by increasing R, but gains higher than db show more equalization errors because of the 8 MHz gain bandwidth of the OP7. This circuit is capable of very low distortion over its entire range, generally below.% at levels up to 7 V rms. At V output levels, it produces less than.% total harmonic distortion at frequencies up to khz. Capacitor C and Resistor R form a simple db per octave rumble filter, with a corner at Hz. As an option, the switch selected Shunt Capacitor C, a nonpolarized electrolytic, bypasses the low frequency roll-off. Placing the rumble filter s high-pass action after the preamplifier has the desirable result of discriminating against the RIAA-amplified low frequency noise components and pickup produced low frequency disturbances. A preamplifier for NAB tape playback is similar to an RIAA phono preamplifier, though more gain is typically demanded, along with equalization requiring a heavy low frequency boost. The circuit in Figure can be readily modified for tape use, as shown by Figure. 7- Rev. H Page of

17 OP7 TAPE HEAD R A C A + OP7 R R.µF.7µF Figure. Tape Head Preamplifier T = 8µs T = µs While the tape equalization requirement has a flat high frequency gain above khz (T = µs), the amplifier need not be stabilized for unity gain. The decompensated OP7 provides a greater bandwidth and slew rate. For many applications, the idealized time constants shown can require trimming of R and R to optimize frequency response for nonideal tape head performance and other factors (see the References section). The network values of the configuration yield a db gain at khz, and the dc gain is greater than 7 db. Thus, the worstcase output offset is just over mv. A single.7 µf output capacitor can block this level without affecting the dynamic range. The tape head can be coupled directly to the amplifier input, because the worst-case bias current of 8 na with a mh, µ inch head (such as the PRBH7K) is not troublesome. Amplifier bias-current transients that can magnetize a head present one potential tape head problem. The OP7 and OP7 are free of bias current transients upon power-up or powerdown. It is always advantageous to control the speed of power supply rise and fall to eliminate transients. In addition, the dc resistance of the head should be carefully controlled and preferably below kω. For this configuration, the bias current induced offset voltage can be greater than the pv maximum offset if the head resistance is not sufficiently controlled. A simple, but effective, fixed gain transformerless microphone preamp (Figure ) amplifies differential signals from low impedance microphones by db and has an input impedance of kω. Because of the high working gain of the circuit, an OP7 helps to preserve bandwidth, which is khz. As the OP7 is a decompensated device (minimum stable gain of ), a dummy resistor, Rp, may be necessary if the microphone is to be unplugged. Otherwise, the % feedback from the open input can cause the amplifier to oscillate. Common-mode input noise rejection will depend upon the match of the bridge-resistor ratios. Either close tolerance (.%) types should be used, or R should be trimmed for best CMRR. All resistors should be metal film types for best stability and low noise. Noise performance of this circuit is limited more by the Input Resistors R and R than by the op amp, as R and R each generate a nv/ Hz noise, while the op amp generates a. nv/ Hz noise. The rms sum of these predominant noise Rev. H Page 7 of 7- sources is about nv/ Hz, equivalent to.9 µv in a khz noise bandwidth, or nearly db below a mv input signal. Measurements confirm this predicted performance. LOW IMPEDANCE MICROPHONE INPUT T R = R R R R R R P R OP7/ OP7 + R C mf R R7 Figure. Fixed Gain Transformerless Microphone Preamplifier OUTPUT For applications demanding appreciably lower noise, a high quality microphone transformer coupled preamplifier (Figure ) incorporates the internally compensated OP7. T is a JE- K-E Ω/ kω transformer that provides an optimum source resistance for the OP7 device. The circuit has an overall gain of db, the product of the transformer s voltage setup and the op amp s voltage gain. SOURCE T R R C 8pF R A OP7 OUTPUT T JENSEN JE K E JENSEN TRANSFORMERS Figure. High Quality Microphone Transformer Coupled Preamplifier Gain can be trimmed to other levels, if desired, by adjusting R or R. Because of the low offset voltage of the OP7, the output offset of this circuit is very low,.7 mv or less, for a db gain. The typical output blocking capacitor can be eliminated in such cases, but it is desirable for higher gains to eliminate switching transients. 8 +8V OP7 8V Figure. Burn-In Circuit Capacitor C and Resistor R form a µs time constant in this circuit, as recommended for optimum transient response by the transformer manufacturer. With C in use, A must have unitygain stability. For situations where the µs time constant is not necessary, C can be deleted, allowing the faster OP7 to be employed

18 OP7 A Ω resistor and R and R gain resistors connected to a noiseless amplifier generate nv of noise in a khz bandwidth, or 7 db below a mv reference level. Any practical amplifier can only approach this noise level; it can never exceed it. With the OP7 and T specified, the additional noise degradation is close to. db (or 9. referenced to mv).
